I do daycare and I watch a little boy who's a year and 4 months old. The boy is really underdeveloped and I'm kind of worried. I know all kids develop at different rates and all that but this boy just started walking and is still really bow legged and awkward, he doesn't talk at all communicatively, just repeats the same things over and over that don't have any importance, like "oh god, oh god". he most often doesn't respond when his name is called and never ever follows any instructions no matter how many times he's reminded. Also, he will hardly ever play with toys, he just wants to play with the tv, which he doesn't take his eyes off of. The way he looks is even kind of weird, he's super skinny but has a really big head-- like it's hard to get shirts over them. I've been reading online and a lot of his actions fit with things associated with autism. I just don't know how to tell his mom about it because she's a single mom and he's the apple of her eye. help!
